Outstanding customer service, low prices and special deals for families are among reasons why Shady Brook Cinemas continues to be Maury County’s Best Family Entertainment, said General Manager Patrick McVay.

Outstanding customer service, low prices and special deals for families are among reasons why Shady Brook Cinemas continues to be Maury County’s Best Family Entertainment, said General Manager Patrick McVay.

For the sixth year in a row, the 31-year-old movie theater has earned the title as a favorite destination for the family. Unlike other theaters that are experiencing a decrease in attendance, McVay said ticket sales continue to increase.

"Our attendance goes up every year," McVay said.

Big plans are in store this year for the small-town movie theater. Existing space is being transformed into a private VIP auditorium with plush seating for a limited audience. Tickets to the cinematic lair will be sold on first-come, first-served basis, McVay said. The space also will be available for private parties.

"It should open before the holiday season (Thanksgiving)," McVay said.

Better sound is also in store. McVay said plans are "in the pipeline" to install a Dolby Atmos sound system, which employs overhead speakers, this year.

Keeping with its reputation as a family-friendly hotspot, Shady Brook Cinemas will host a summer film festival. Free family movies will be shown at 10 a.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout June and July, McVay said.

Located at 1907 Shady Brook St., Shady Brook Cinemas is open from noon-8:15 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and noon-10:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The box office opens at noon and closes 10 minutes after the last show of the day.
